International Laura Svaryte (190-C/F-92) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for league's leader Suduva and that's her to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 8.The 24-year old had a double-double of 18 points and sixteen rebounds, while her team beat Aistes-LSU (#6, 3-6) 65-55. It allowed Suduva to consolidate first place in the Lithuanian LMKL. Suduva have a solid 8-1 record. It's Svaryte's second year at Suduva and it's hard to imagine this team without her. Svaryte has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (4th best: 15.7ppg), rebounds (3rd best: 10.1rpg) and averages solid 57.8% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Karolina Kazociunaite (180-SF-99) of Aistes-LSU.

Aistes-LSU's 6th position in the standings has not changed. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 3-6 record. Kazociunaite is a newcomer at Aistes-LSU and despite she is not a team leader yet, every game she becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.

The third best performed player last round was another Suduva's star - Ieva Simkute (192-F-89). Simkute showcased her all-around game by recording 14 points, nine rebounds and four assists in the last round.

Aistes-LSU's coach Gediminas Meiliunas tested ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Suduva (8-1) have an impressive eight-game winning streak. They maintain first position. Aistes-LSU at the other side keeps the sixth place with six games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
